Collection: opensource

In these letters from a traveller selected from Teilhard's private correspondence with relatives, friends, and colleagues during the most productive years of his life readers will share a remarkable spiritual odyssey.
We join Teilhard in fascinating trips to exotic corners of the globe and remove regions of China, the Gobi Desert, Jaya, Ethiopia, India, South Africa in search of the secrets of man's past that are locked in the earth's rocks and fossils. And we follow an even more exciting voyage into the heart and mind of a versatile, creative thinker as he strives to uncover the meaning and purpose of man's place in the universe.
The lucid prose, keen observation, pioneering scientific discovery, and profound thought that are uniquely combined in letters from a traveler establish Teilhard as one of the great letter writers and remarkable personalities of the twentieth century. Here is a candid, intimate self-portrait of a giant of our times.
"A great man of science and a great soul" -Arnold J. Toynbee
